Kudos for overpacking with other hikers in mind. I once forget extra water on a quick there and back hike to a certain destination. A couple I met there always packed extra for people like me, and we were all really glad we connected.

Kelsie is a rockstar ❤

@meganworth1544 Год назад

What a beautiful hike! I did chuckle over the hiker snob because it’s not the equipment that makes you a hiker, it’s getting on the trail that makes you a hiker! And I really appreciate when people carry first aid for fellow hikers! My heart goes out to Chelsea and Tyler for the loss of their dog. Hugs to them! As always, thank you for sharing your beautiful journey!

@CoBeau29 Год назад

Such beautiful scenery where you hiked. For Kelsey and Tyler. My heart goes out to you for the loss of your dog. What a nice gesture Tyler.. having beverages on Ice waiting for the girls at the end of their hike. 🌲💛

I started being SLIGHTLY interested in hiking when you and the ladies did your hike. I did my first hike about a month ago, and I should've filmed it because it was content worthy? But I didn't think to. It was moderately strenuous, up Gros Piton in St Lucia. It was a personal success to myself because as we went up, people dropped off, not being able to continue. I made it all the way to the summit. The view was our reward. Absolutely worth it and I'll do others in the future. But I was inspired by you. Now I've got the hiking bug.

@lavendertownvip1908 Год назад

I can't believe that guy said that. I'm glad you guys took it in stride and I really like the point she brought up about egos and sports. As a relatively inexperienced hiker (that's also senstive) that probably would've hurt my feelings quite a bit. Being on hikes puts me in a almost psychedelic mind state and bravo to you guys for being able to overcome a weird comment like that.

@Angela-1974 Год назад

Losing a pet is never easy 😟 Sending Tyler and Kelsie lots of love and light ❤️🙏 Great video, that scenery looks amazing, I felt like I was there on that hike 👍😍

@Flyfishtherockies Год назад

First 40 seconds of discussion is 100% what all outdoor RU-vidrs should be doing! Thank you!!!!

@adelacoburn1396 Год назад

My heart breaks for Tyler and Kelsie 💔, I know that loss and heartache. This was a beautiful video, plus walking among all those beautiful-beautiful wild flowers, what a memory for you two 💛🧡. Thank you for sharing Elsa🌼

@Diwondermum Год назад

Elsa you are a beautiful human being! You shine with love warmth and care. Thankyou for sharing your hike with Kelsey with us. And my heartfelt condolences to Kelsey and Mike on the loss of their fur baby. He is in a better place enjoying the best bones and the best heaven can offer. Big hugs for all.

@debbiecollins1154 Год назад

Great video! Thanks for taking us along. Sending prayers to Kelsie and her family so sorry she lost her companion. It’s so hard grieving over your pets and just trying to acknowledge that they are not in pain anymore. ❤️❤️

@bethanygates6812 Год назад

Yes, exactly! And I know that their buddy won’t be alone, because my doggo is up their too, and I’m sure he’s right there with him, ready to greet him and welcome him into heaven. His name is Troy, and he was the sweetest miniature Italian Greyhound I ever met. Have fun playing up there, buddies! ❤❤❤ lots of love

@sovereigns1grace Год назад

Oh my the wildflowers! Columbines are my favorite :D. Thanks so much for sharing this hike. At 66 years old, I couldn't handle the altitude much less a hike. So, watching yours is a real treat. I could just smell and feel the air. Keep up the good work & looking forward to more about the house 💜

@MissMaryLu Год назад

Elsa! Thank you for taking us along 🥰 The pinched nerves in my back don’t allow for big hikes, so it is an utter treat to see this journey

@TheLisalisa03 Год назад

Wishing Chelsea and Tyler comfort for the loss of their dog, what a beauty!

@saraherber1887 Год назад

Tyler and Kelsie, My sincere condolences on the loss of your fur friend. Cry your tears and feel what you are feeling. Time will come to share your hearts with another and the love you gave to your lost friend will be multiplied and you will once again smile.

@tesslee100 Год назад

He would love to see me hiking with just my fanny pack! So nice to see you all enjoying this beautiful hike, and sharing it with us.

@TeagieBug Год назад

My heart is heavy with that news. Dogs bring so much joy to our lives and leave such a whole when they walk over the rainbow Bridge. 🌈Thank ypu for sharing your life and experiences with me.

@TXMEDRGR Год назад

Thanks for sharing your hike. I'm so sorry to hear Kelsie and Tyler lost their dog because I know it is like losing a family member.

@tippy1261 Год назад

I'm sorry your dog had to leave our world.♥️ It's so painful. Out fur babies bring so much love and joy into our lives. Unconditional love at its finest!. Hugs!

@sharayahmoramarco9941 Год назад

Such a beautiful hike!! For Kelsey and Tyler: research shows that the part of our brains that light up when we have children also light up when we have dogs. The pain we feel for their death is akin to losing a child and it takes time to heal. I send healing and positive vibes their way, and wish them peace as they navigate their heartbreak.

@andreamcguin2375 Год назад

Thank you for sharing your hike, it was beautiful. My condolences to Kelsie and Tyler on the loss of their beautiful pup...that grief is so real and raw, but glad he isn't suffering now. The greatest kindness you can do for your pet is to know when to let them go.

@LR-tk1bp Год назад

Gorgeous hike! Thanks for taking us along. :) sending your friends some love and comfort while they grieve the loss of their very good pup!

@MrBrickboy38 Год назад

The walk through all the wild flowers was amazing, that alone was worth the trip 😊

@phosawelonewolf2886 Год назад

My favorite place in the world. Loved this as a child still love to this day. My soul is always here.

@laurellew Год назад

So sorry for their loss. Losing an animal that has been a constant in your life is hard. They take a big piece of your heart with them. Sending love to Kelsey & Tyler. Hiking is walking and not reserved for some elite group of people. I’m glad you stood up for yourselves but wish you didn’t have to. At least you have this platform to educate others. Thanks for sharing this hike!

@TJK50014 Год назад

Lost my pup a month ago, and never in my life have I prayed so much for her spirt to be safe in the lush green meadows of doggie heaven.

@vallovesnature8449 Год назад

Beautiful trail Elsa. I think I might put it on my bucket list. Sending lots of hugs & love to Tyler and Kelsie. I totally understand. Precious puppy is their guardian Angel now🙏🏻❤️🐾

@babygoat1963 Год назад

Long time subscriber, I love your channel and am so impressed by what you have accomplished! As an AT and PCT thru-hiker, I always get a kick out of people who pass judgement on other hikers because of gear. Whether you carry an ultra-light, or ultra heavy pack is personal choice. Cost, weight, brand, makes no difference! Light, expensive gear is nice, but not matter how light or expensive it is. It will not walk itself up the trail! I love and admire nice gear, the minute someone engages me from a critical point of view in regards to my gear or technique, it immediately tells me volumes about them! People criticize others because of their own insecurities. As the saying goes, “hike your own hike!”

@terryanntyler7882 Год назад

Thank you for showing us all the beautiful scenery and especially the wild flowers I love how you tell the story of your hike with informative dialogue and your real experiences. Sending love and healing vibes to Tyler and Kelsie . ❤️❤️

@lindac7146 Год назад

What a beautiful hike. Thx for sharing. Please extend my condolences for the loss of their beautiful dog.

@JennNahrstadt Год назад

Kelsey and Tyler, my husband and I had two Aussies, one a red tri like it appears your beloved dog was. I can attest to how wonderful they are and how profound losing them was. My sympathies. Your fond memories will help, in time.

Hey Elsa that was a beautiful hike the scenery that was amazing thanks for taking us along I look forward to you and Baron and your next video you guys are amazing and so much fun to watch and all your friends that are helping as you your build your house so amazing how you all work together be safe and have fun ♥️✌️🙂🐾🐾

@arlenesolis024 Год назад

I love when you do your hiking because it pushes me to get out. Love the trail. Sending love and to your friends’ loss.

@LMay64 Год назад

Nice. I did the Four Pass Loop last year and totally blew out my meniscus the first day heading down the first pass. This area is amazing, but the multitudes of humanity was a bit much for me. My heart goes out to Kelsie and Tyler. I have eight beautiful four footed kids and losing any of them is devastating. Much love and respect.

@sueb860 Год назад

Sounds like the guy with the ultralight gear was a throwback to your experience on the A.T. Dang, it's not a competition or a spitting contest! People are people. If you get out and hike, you're a hiker! Looks like a beautiful place! So Sorry to your friends for losing their pup. Certain they gave him his best life and he returned it with unconditional love.

@wildzenventures Год назад

Nice endurance! Beautiful scenery, the summits are always so rewarding! Happy trails

@UtahRoadbase Год назад

Oh my! So sorry for their loss. When I lost my soul pup, it helped me to remember that we both knew that we made each other's lives better for those 13 fleeting years. But losing a family member who gives you unconditional love and happiness is tragic no matter what. Years later, I still cry when I think about her but I also see her in our yard or living room from time to time. My heart and mind are working together too keep her with me! Much love and thoughts in their time of loss. From Utah!

@kimberlyenglehardt5770 Год назад

Kelsey and Tyler, significant sympathy at the loss of your sweet boo!🌹

@r2fant2008 Год назад

I lived in Aspen for a year in the late 80’s. I must have hiked Maroon Bells 50 times. It was my favorite place there!! I’m glad y’all did this! I’m so sorry for the loss of Kelsie and Tyler’s sweet dog!!😢sending them love and light.

@terrahmama Год назад

Way to go Kelsie!!! My kind of hiking partner. People give me grief all the time about my pack but I have saved a few people too. Ultralight in my opinion, is a bit risky. everyone should always carry the ten essentials and in that climate more water than you think you need. I haven't hike that one...wanted to when I lived in CO. Thanks for sharing. Hugs to Kelsie and Tyler our fur buddies are so much a part of our fabric of life. So sorry for your loss.🙏🌈

@claudiaburnett3066 Год назад

Sorry for the sad goodbye to your loved one. I have only seen your life thru another's lens but as a person with a dog who loves being outdoors and hiking and camping, I BELIEVE you brought your pup much happiness and improved the very existence of both your lives. You gave as much to him as he gave you. And you will forever love him. ❤️(a message for your friends)

@brucesafreed3877 Год назад

Hola Elsa & Kelsey! Awesome Hike Beautiful Mountain! My Heart goes out to you on the loss of your Dog... They become part of your family... ❤️

@susanlittrell3564 Год назад

I’m so sorry to hear about your friends losing their pup. Such a painful thing to go through. It reminded me that I found your RU-vid channel the day that I had to put my beloved dog down. I was looking for ways to distract myself from the pain I felt when I ran across a video of yours. When I saw Kamp in it I wasn’t sure if I could watch it but then I realized I had to watch it. I’ve been in love with your channel ever since then. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. ❤

@rebeccakahler6432 Год назад

I just did half this hike two days ago, the aspen leaves are just starting to pop! Now I have to go back and do the whole thing! I do my day hikes with my 60L backpacking pack and carry a water filter and emergency bivvy along with the regular day hike stuff. When we boarded the bus for the Bells the driver said we looked like we were heading to Everest😑-always better safe than sorry! Thank you for sharing!!

@angelaward3843 Год назад

So sorry for their loss... I just lost my dog whom was 16 yrs old... She was literally my bestfriend... She was there for me when I lost my husband of 19yrs and my sweet daddy... I know she was just a dog to most but to me she was Literally my Best friend!!!! But congrats on finishing one of the most beautiful hikes ever!

@kahineg Год назад

How beautiful. Thank you for taking us on the journey. Prayers for Chelsea and Tyler on the loss of their furry friend. May his memory be for a blessing.

@barbadams9614 Год назад

Always better to over pack and be prepared than under pack and need something. Shame on him for thinking hiking is all about how good your gear is. So sorry for Tyler and Kelsie. Losing a pet is like losing a family member, because that is exactly what it is. Hugs to them and thanks to you for your great videos. Always enjoy watching them. Blessings.

@tattooedkelly Год назад

What a beautiful video, your channel always brings me a sense of calm and peace when I am having a bad day. Thank you for sharing. Sending lots of love and positive healing to Kelsie and Tyler, I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Huge hugs and love sending your way. :)

@andreinavalenzuela199 Год назад

Sorry for your loss. A pup's love is like no other and losing them is heartbreaking. Sending pup a treat to puppy heaven.

@HeyHollyYoo Год назад

I’m so sorry for your loss :( I have a senior dog and I remind myself that every day is a gift, because we’ll just never know when they pass on. I hope the memory of your dog warms your soul, and keeps you company during the lonely and sad times. ❤❤❤ Also, Elsa! I love how your videos show your love for nature, and inspires others to do the same. Hiking has been my greatest passion, and I also have no fancy stuff, and agree it is for EVERYONE!! :)

@0HARE Год назад

Thanks for taking us along on this wonderful hike. You did a great job documenting it. I really enjoyed it. Condolences to Kelsey & Tyler. It’s heartbreaking to loose a good companion and member of the family. I have a big hike/mountain climb coming up, and you’ve got me wondering if I should buy some hiking pants. Happy Trails

@heatherlana8608 Год назад

I lost my pup Cherry a year ago as of Tuesday, Sept 20th. It was both sudden and slow at the same time. One night she was having a hard time breathing and I rushed her to the emergency vet where she stayed for 4 days receiving treatment for heart failure from a congential defect that, up until that point, had been in the early stages. I didn't think I would get to take her home, but I did and I got 4 more weeks of time with her which was such a wonderful gift. Every day was hard because I didn't know if it was her last, but the extra time helped me to further appreciate how lucky I was to have her. One day she looked at me as I begged her to eat just a bite of food after her not eating for days and I knew. I hope that Kelsie and Tyler give themselves space to mourn and celebrate their pup's life. It was obvious how loved their dog was and I am sure that he knew that everyday. I'm sending them all the good vibes and they are not alone.

@sallydansereau1270 Год назад

I overpack on day hikes too. I have given more first aid stuff away than I have used ( thankfully 😅 ). I sometimes get miffed with people who carry nothing and expect others to “rescue” them, but I’d rather be prepared. Beautiful hike, albeit crowded. Wildflower meadows are so amazing! We have similar situations with crowds some popular hikes in the Canadian Rockies. Colorado is beautiful, Utah and Wyoming too, hope to get back down there with our van soon. Thank you for sharing.

Incredible hike! Thanks for the inspiration, I often hold back thinking that it isn't do-able for me but you've given me light! Sending mountains of love and gentle heart hugs to your friends for their loss. It's just an indescribable feeling/process when losing a pet (aka our child).

To Kelsey and Tyler, I am so sorry for the loss of your precious pup - the hole they leave in your hearts and lives is always much bigger than their physical presence. I will pray for your comfort and peace.
